Editing Genestealer Hybrids (section)

==Generations==
Each hybrid generation possesses a somewhat specific anatomy. By infecting a victim with its genetic material, a Genestealer passes on some of its physical characteristics to the victim's first offspring. In the first generation, this gives rise to a Hybrid with a number of Genestealer traits. Through successive generations of Hybrids these traits become less extreme, until in the fourth generation the Hybrids can pass as normal Humans. [[Genestealer Aberrants]] can appear in any of the generations without warning as well.

*'''First generation''': The first generation Hybrids are born to human (or otherwise) parents, one of which has been infected. Of all the generations they resemble Genestealers most closely. They have either three or four arms.
*'''Second generation''': Second generation hybrids always possess three arms, one of which ends in the Genestealer claw. However, their skin starts to become smoother and more human-like.
*'''Third Generation''': These hybrids possess bodies somewhere between the crouched bodies of Genestealers and the upright stance of humans. They appear perpetually crouched, possess two or three arms, one of which might end in a Genestealer claw. Some lack the ovipositor of preceding generations; these are called drones or neuters, although they can still infect other races through their blood. The [[Genestealer Primus|Primus]] and Nexos may appear in either this generation or the fourth, depending on the needs of the Genestealer cult. Kelermorphs also begin appearing here.
*'''Fourth Generation''': This generation is virtually indistinguishable from members of the host species save for their hairless bodies and the slightly purplish tinge in their skin tone. They retain the hypnotic gaze of Genestealers, making them rather charismatic. A "mutant" which can appear among this generation is the [[Genestealer Magus|Magus]], which takes the highest position in a [[Genestealer Cult]], besides the [[Genestealer Patriarch]]. If needed, other types of specialists such as the [[Clamavus]], Biophagus, Sanctus, and Locus may also appear here. The first offspring of fourth generation hybrids are invariably purestrain genestealers, allowing the cycle to continue.
